What They are Good for.

BRASpRErA's Pills are the best medicine
known.
First--They are purely vegetable, in fact a
medicatcd food.
Second-The same dose always produces the
same eflect,-other purgatiyes require in
creased doses and finally cease acting.
Thiri-They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorato the digestion and
cleanse the stomach and bowels.
FI,h-Thoy stimulate the liver and carry
of yitiated bile and other deprayed secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the story.
The skin becomes clear; the eye bright; the
mind active; digestion IS restored; oostiveness
cured the animal vigor is recruited Snd all
decay arrested.

The Reason Vti?v

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as cathartic
medicine, they never leave any iii
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTITY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are SO
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:
al suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until L
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. ] took them
regularly for few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England. next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.

The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause of most OF
those distressing headaches, to which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep-
sic, n. Y, writes that for years she was
a martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than tenn
porary relief, until she began taking
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment of perfect health.

Crop Report for September, 1887.

CoRN-The prospects in July for a
large corn crop have not been excelied
since 1880. Condition then lacked
scarcely more than two points of the
standard of full development. In q
single month the reduction Of the crop
expectations was equivalent to at least
$50, ,0OO, 900 bushels. There was fall to
sO.5 per cent. of standard crop, caused
by one of the most widespread drouths
ever known-taking in nearly all of
the so-called corn growing states-and
a drouth of greatest severity accom-
panied with that greatest of curses:
chinch bugs. A drouth is not so much
to be feared as those bugs. There 10
no known remedy. Although corn is
grown in every state in the union, yet
the states comprising the corn belt real.
are Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Missouri, the
Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Ne
braska, Arkansas, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. These. eleven states produce
